Retailer Names
A list of common retailers trading names to help you identify a payment or transaction
We will never ask you for your full PIN or password. If you are asked for this, it will be a scam and should be reported to us.
Don't recognise a payment to a retailer?
If you don't recognise a payment on your statement it could be because the company you have made a payment to may have a different trading name from the one you expect. For example, if you bought something from Argos, it could appear on your statement as 'Home Retail Group'.
A quick internet search can help, or check our list of common retailers and service providers, and their trading names.
